The Big Story: Is this Singapore's biggest road traffic law shake-up in years?

Singapore is proposing one of its biggest overhauls of road traffic laws in years. Under a new Bill, motorists caught holding a mobile phone while driving could face fines of up to $1,000, jail time, or both. The Government is also proposing lower legal alcohol limits and tougher penalties for drink driving offences.

Will harsher punishments be enough to change driver behaviour? Could the new rules create grey areas for motorists?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Kevin Liew, Head of Crime Practice at GJC Law, to break down what the proposed changes could mean for drivers and whether they'll make Singapore's roads safer.
